Das Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) der Vereinigten Staaten hat vor gefälschten Stellenanzeigen gewarnt, die Menschen nach Südostasien locken, wo „Opfer gegen ihren Willen festgehalten und gezwungen werden, internationale Krypto-Betrügereien an ahnungslosen Opfern zu begehen“. Diese Betrüger schalten meist Anzeigen in den sozialen Medien und locken ihre Opfer mit dem Versprechen gut bezahlter Jobs. Bei ihrer Ankunft werden den Opfern jedoch ihre Reisepässe abgenommen und sie werden zur Arbeit gezwungen, indem sie unschuldige Menschen betrügen. Darüber hinaus drohten den Arbeitern Berichten zufolge Folter, Missbrauch, Mord oder der Verkauf an eine andere Bande, wenn sie keinen Erfolg hatten. Das FBI gibt …
The Association of Investigation (FBI) of the United States has warned of fake job advertisements that attract people to Southeast Asia, where "victims are held against their will and forced to commit international crypto fraud on unsuspecting victims". These fraudsters usually switch on ads on social media and attract their victims with the promise of well -paid jobs.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States has warned of fake job advertisements that attract people to Southeast Asia, where "victims are held against their will and forced to commit international crypto fraud on unsuspecting victims".

These fraudsters usually switch on ads on social media and attract their victims with the promise of well -paid jobs. On their arrival, however, the victims will be taken away from their passports and they are forced to work by cheating innocent people. In addition, the workers reportedly threatened torture, abuse, murder or sale to another gang if they were unsuccessful.

The FBI issues a warning

According to the press release, the FBI warned the FBI US citizen and people who live or travel abroad or travel against false job advertisements in connection with labor force. The secret service said that threat players are targeting victims of employment fraud programs, especially in Asia by publishing false job advertisements on social media and online positions.

Fake jobs could range from technical support to call center customer service to the technician in the beauty salon, the FBI said. In order to attract victims, lucrative social benefits, salaries and accommodations are offered.

"In the course of the process, the location of the position is often shifted from the advertised location. When the job seekers' arrival abroad, criminal actors use a variety of means to force them to invest in cryptocurrencies, such as the confiscation of passports and travel terminals, the threat of violence and the use of violence."

The victims are then forced to pay their rising debts - travel expenses, accommodation and meals. If the debts get worse, they are often sold to other criminal groups.

The FBI described a few steps in detail in order to avoid falling into such traps. This includes information about the advertised company before taking a job offer and paying attention to "vague formulations" about the company or limited employment details. Also for ads with unusually high salaries and many discounts, job seekers should be on the hat.

crypto fraud rings

The latest warning is in the middle of numerous reports on crypto fraud rings, in which enslaved people are used. In November last year, the Cambodian government was exposed to violent counter-reaction because it allegedly closed her eyes in front of Chinese criminal gangs that smuggled almost 100,000 migrant workers and forced them to find online fraud, including fraudulent crypto icos.

Finally, the Filipino National Police (PNP) saved 1,000 victims of human trafficking at the beginning of the month, which had to work up to 18 hours a day due to cryptocurrency fraud. After the fraud ring was destroyed, the authorities arrested twelve alleged ringleaders.
